Can i go back to ios 5.1.1?

I'm a high school student. I just upgraded my 8 GB iPod touch (4th generation) to iOS 6 and it took up 1/3 of my space, and deleted all of my beautiful 700 photos that cannot be replaced. I feel like Apple is taking advantage of young people, like myself, to keep buying products with our low income. I do not like being forced to buy another device after less than 6 months,

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
After you do the update to iOS 6, the iPod should have about the same space available as before. The update only uses a few tens more MB.
What does happen sometimes is that file become corrupted and that results in a larger "other" category shown in the colored bargraph in iTunes. Restoring from backup usually resolves that but sometime a restore to factory settings/new iPod is required.
I do not know what happened to your photos. They should not have been deleted but things happen sometimes. Thus, in the future make sure yo frequently backup the media on the iPod frequently, especially before an update.

    i Was considerinf buying a macbook pro, but am reconsidering spending such an amount of money on a company that can screw up such a basic function. I mean you can have your iOS 8 back if this is what it means, I don't want to use your health Kit app.

    You cannot 'roll back' your iOS.  That's never been supported or allowed by Apple (with only one exception).
    Use this article: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple
    It's not the iOS.  It may be a setting on your iPhone or the wi-fi network, or a hardware issue.  But it's not the iOS.  If it was, then everyone's iPhone 5S using the same iOS would not be working, and that's not the case.
    Troubleshoot your issue.

    Sorry but Apple doesn't support downgrading.
    There are a few things you can do to help change the appearance. You can go to settings, general, accessibility and adjust the contrast, text size, bold the text. You can also adjust the brightness in the control panel. Maybe this will make it a little better looking for you.

    my phone was updated and  a google street view map was lost. How can i restore back from ios 6 to ios 5?

    You cannot downgrade the iOS, there is no supported method.
    Google streetview was not lost, Google Maps were removed from iOS6 and replaced with Apple Maps.

  • I've updated my iPhone 3gs with IOS 6 but being only 8GB it now has no space for data. Can I go back to IOS 5.1?

    Can I restore back to IOS 5.1?

    It sounds like you have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone.  When you update, it will indeed lock it back, as it should.
    The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which they are locked and no U.S. carrier does this.

  • How can I go back to iOS 6, iOS 7 is buggy and just looks dreadful?

    After using iOS7 since Tuesday, it is becoming ever clearer just how awful this update is. Beyond the icons which seem to include a colour pallette of 16 million different shades - and use all of them - iOS 7 seems to have included some changes which defy all logic altogether e.g. the volume icon which appears when you're watching videos was always transparent and unobtrusive, now it's opaque and blocks out a good share of the screen - WHY, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
    As I say, how can upgrade back to iOS 6?

    Apple does not support downgrading! Sorry!

  • How can I revert back from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on ipad because watching youtube is horrible in ios6

    How can I downgrade from ios6 to ios5.1.1. Because wathing youtube in ios6 is very bad.

    Help Me!!!! My son has severe autism and loves the youtube app from 5.1.1 now that my wife upgraded to 6.0  there is no favorite tab and he doesn't have any of his shows available, plus seaching is a nightmare for him.  My boy is 4 years old and doesn't ask for much, he is a mess without his youtube app and I'm really struggling to keep him calm, I need help with getting the old version back.  If anyone out there knows how I can possibly go back please let me know, I'm drowning here and can't handle this any longer.  Again I have to restate that my son has sever autism and only has a few things that he can manage on his own, this being one of them.  HELP ME PLEASE!!! he has an Ipod touch 4g

  • Can I revert back to iOS 5.0 on my iPhone 4S?

    I have been using the Sprint version of the 4S since the day it was released and never seemed to have an issue with battery life.  However, after downloading the iOS 5.01, my battery life seems to be markedly diminished.  Thus, is there a way to revert back to iOS 5.0 until Apple has a chance to better understand what went wrong with 5.01?

    No, and don't be tempted to hack the phone to do so.  Not only would downgrading not help, but you may never be able to update again (as well as trash your warranty).

    It's ridiculous how the keyboard reacts to pushes after a second. Camera app loads half a minute. Why u even let this upgrade happen? 6th is too heavy for 3GS.

  • How can I revert back to IOS 4.5.5 from 5.1.1 on my 3GS?

    When using the Network this either wifi or other, the phone blanks out with a black srceen with an apple icon. I have to plug it in and let it set for a while for the mail screen to come back on. This has happened ever since I updated to IOS 5.1.1. I need to revert back to IOS 4.3.5. I need to know how to accomplish this.

    There is no supported method of reverting to a previous version of iOS.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
